The Excitement Is Killing Me

Tim Pawlenty announces his presidential campaign: PAWLENTY 2012: Because Politics Isn’t Boring Enough

Glimmer Of Understanding From Ezra

by Smitty Even the eyes of the most deadened zombie can occasionally hint at understanding. There is good reason to think that Boehner will be a much more formidable opponent for Obama than Gingrich was for Clinton. So why were Reid and Obama so eager to celebrate Boehner’s compromise with his conservative members? The Democrats […]

A Rasher of Bacon As A Unit Of Measure

by Smitty It makes sense to scale food to some hand unit of measure. Who wants to fret calories and grams and whatnot? Via the Weekday Vegetarian, which I swear my wife shared with me in the Google Reader, as I would never be caught with my masculinity so impaired as to subscribe directly, we […]

On This Caption Like Sweet On Cherry Pie

by Smitty (h/t Maggie’s Farm) Or, as Ron Paul said, End the Fed. Also available for the mighty Kindle, which gadget I have been enjoying immensely here by the Hindu Kush. I don’t know how to link Amazon URLs to Stacy’s tip jar, but we really need to support him financially so that he can […]

New Orleans, Again?

The croupiers at Harrah’s are probably rubbing their hands in gleeful anticipation at the prospect that I’ll resume my roulette losing streak during the Republican Leadership Conference and Reagan Centennial Celebration in New Orleans June 16-18. But really: This trip would be a legitimate business expense, right? I’m a political journalist and my man Herman […]

Rep. Ryan Pulls Weekly GOP Address Duty

And when you’ve had your fill of sobriety, Iowahawk shreds Lindsey Graham. My experience has only served to underscore Miss Buelah’s perspicacity, for I […]

Allen West: A Firm ‘No’ on Budget Deal

by Smitty The Hill has it briefly, Liberty Pundits picked it up, and Cubachi elaborates with a Fox clip elaborating on his opposition: West is such a mensch he scared Debbie Wasserman-Schultz out of the Florida delegation. Given sufficient Allen West clones, I think the country’s problems are solveable. The question would move to where […]

Thad McCotter On The House Floor With A Rock Reference So Old, Even Stacy McCain Gets It

by Smitty (via Treacher on Twitter) So the post title is a trifle gratuitous. Sorry. Meanwhile, as seen on Breitbart TV: “The Democratic Party will shut down the government so they can spend more of your money. The Republican Party is committed to keeping the government open and spending less of your money.” “The Song […]
